There were four bonnetless theatre par

after the parquet was filed 1t looked as

HOT

Some one remarks that the weather's warm,
Sing hey for the clothing that's limp
and wei,
Sing hey for the collar that melted down,
Like the point of a joke by circus clown,
While we're mopping away the sweat
Somebody says that the weather's warm.
Surprising it is; it can do no harm.
There is plenty of water 20 quench our
thirst;
And, in view of the future, 'twere better
first,
To get prepared for the very worst
While there's plenty in reach to drink.
And its pretty feeble to fret and growl,
And ter, and splulter, and screech, and
howl
At this little warmness | think.
For, of all precautions, the best on earth
Is to get prepared for a harder BERTH
Cause we sometimes draw blank.
And when we are taking our balmy rest
In the soft repose of fearhered nest,
We had better figure on how 'twould
seem
To substitute hard tack for cake and
cream,
And to sleep on a good oak plank.
For, whether on earth, or in future state,
There is, across from the pleasant gate,
A portal not half so fair.
And if we get used to the hard road first,
= We are then prepared to accept the worst,
And with plenty of grit to spare.
Whereas, if fair Fortune we chance to meet,
Her kindly smile will be twice as sweet
For trying the other berth
And, then, if we go to our nightly rest
In the soft embrace Of a feat hered nest,
We can know how much it's worth
Somebody says that the weather's warm,
Sing hey for the holiness that long has
been;
Sing hey for the sweat that is sizzling now,
As it oozes forth from our heated brow,
And drops from the end Of our chin.
Let's think of this heat as scheme of Fate
To fit our souls for their future state
The view of all sensible men.
And let's not set up kick and a squeal,
But let's iust think of how good we'll feel
When once it is cool again
